Article
Full-text available
As Austermühl (2001) put it over a decade ago, the use of information and communication technologies is a fait accompli in the lives of today's translators. Translation Studies (TS) have traditionally contemplated technologies only as supporting tools for translation practice, and translators' tools have not enjoyed consideration as decisive actors...
Article
Full-text available
Contemporary translation studies (TS) have long embraced context-based professional frameworks. Situated learning perspectives relate to vocational, functionalist notions of translation practice. Situated translation learning introduces different training practices designed to prepare students for professional activity. These include a plethora of...
Article
Full-text available
Since the 1970s, Translation Studies have embraced skills and competences for the mapping of translation as a complex and specialised type of knowledge. A number of authors within TS have already extensively reviewed and analysed most of the existing translation and/or translator competence models, i.e., competence models literature reviews by Camp...
Article
Full-text available
Legal translators are now expected to make legal as well as linguistic decisions, instead of limiting their work to a bare pro-cess of matching linguistic equivalents. Translation is directly influenced by many factors, according to the functional approach to translation. This paper analyses the effect and scope of those factors in legal translatio...

Audiovisual Translation (AVT) Studies “have brought about a much-needed surge of studies focusing on the audience, their comprehension, appreciation or rejection of what reaches them through the medium of translation” (E. Di Giovanni and Y. Gambier, Reception Studies and Audiovisual Translation, Amsterdam, 2018, p. vii). Films in Spain were usually...

Los servicios de valor añadido que ofertan los proveedores de servicios lingüísticos requieren la activación de competencias de traducción e interculturales, pero a su vez presentan diferencias si se comparan con otras tareas genéricas de traducción. Factores como la tecnología especializada y los diferentes procesos, formatos y esquemas de gestión...
Article
Full-text available
In translation and interpreting studies (TIS), source text analysis has enormous potential (Nord 2005; De la Cova 2017; Szymyslik 2019). To identify complex elements in a text, with a view to their analysis and systemization, TIS resorts to abstract, notionally dense concepts which, while interesting, nevertheless need to be operationalised methodo...
Conference Paper
Una obra de ficción como Juego de Tronos es el caldo de cultivo perfecto para la inclusión de problemas de traducción de compleja profundidad (De la Cova 2017; Morón y Calvo 2018, Szymyslik, en curso). Muchos de estos problemas constituyen un ejemplo más de los que se encuentran en cualquier obra con trasfondo creativo (estilo, ritmo, función evoca...

Full-text available
The translation industry is changing at a rapid and intense pace, with radically new dyna- mics emerging every few years. In addition to new field-specific specializations, translation practice is shaped by technological evolutions which also impact on translation core proces- ses (De la Cova, 2017). In this study, the most significant explicit an...

Desde el punto de vista de la metodología de la investigación en Traductología, uno de los principales conceptos que mayores dificultades de operacionalización han sufrido es el de problema de traducción (Kiraly 1995, Nord, 1988/2005; Hurtado, 2001/2011; Mayoral, 2001; Palumbo, 2009; Toury, 2010; Morón, 2016; De la Cova, 2017, entre otros) y otros...

Back in 2006, Martin presented a panoramic analysis of Public Service Interpreting (PSI) in the Spanish region of Andalusia as part of a first national report on PSI. Martin’s study focused on the fact that most public services were covered on a voluntary basis at the time, except for legal and police settings, were interpreting was starting to bec...
Conference Paper
For many decades now, technology has been addressed as a driver of social and human change ̶ and also so in Translation and Translation Studies (TS). For example, the interaction between technology and translation led to the rise of a lucrative and rapidly consolidating localization industry in the 1980s (Jiménez-Crespo, 2013; De la Cova, 2017). Ne...

Translation and beyond: potencial de las competencias del traductor en ámbitos internacionales. Análisis prospectivo de la inserción profesional de los egresados en Traducción e Interpretación.
Article
Full-text available
Functionalist theories of translation seem to have their roots in the examination of professional translation processes. The functionalist notion of skopos (Vermeer, 1996) focuses on the purpose of the translation project, highlighting a concept that potentially links TS with professional practice: the brief. While many translators receive sparse o...

Un producto cultural de culto como es la saga de G.R.R. Martin, Canción de hielo y fuego, y su versión audiovisual, la serie de HBO Juego de Tronos, se expone ante el público español general en su versión traducida.

In most European countries, employability is a key educational concept that has found its way into the Higher Education discourse in the last few years. Probably the question now is not so much whether this is an important concept but rather how skill-based university training should translate into a smooth transition to work by graduates. This pap...
